The preferred library for C++ is already part of boost (the annex for
the ARM). While most people familiar with C++ use the STL, The
optional add-on library for the STL called boost adds quite a few
additional capabilities which are 100% compatible with STL containers
and capabilities.

Most linux dostros include the boost libraries in their list of
packages, so doing a RPM install, or Deb equivalent should be all you
need.
